I finally moved my project over to Google Anti-Gravity and honestly, I should have done it sooner.
The last few weeks using AI Studio have been pretty painful. I was getting stuck waiting 20 minutes or more for generations to actually finish, and hitting quota limits constantly just as I was getting into a flow. It’s hard to build anything when you’re basically on a timer or staring at a loading screen half the day.
Switching over to Google Antigravity is like having AI Studio but on steroid. Everything is actually fast now. I haven’t dug deep into the exact quota limits yet, but it’s already clear that they are way more generous than what you get on the standard AI Studio side.
If you’re tired of the slow generations and the constant “quota reached” walls, it’s worth the move just to stop the waiting.

Thank you for mentioning that. How many free prompts do we get in Antigravity?
I told Gemini 3.1 in AI Studio to change/implement four things in my app and it timed out after 20 minutes, and this is not the first time this has happened. Never had this issue with 3.0 Pro or Flash.
They didn’t specify exactly how many free prompts can we get. But based on their website, by default, Free users have unlimited tab code completions but are subject to work done limit
Access: The free plan ($0/month) includes access to Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, and Claude Sonnet/Opus 4.6.
- Capacity: It offers “unlimited” tab code completions and command requests, but these are subject to the overall agentic “work done” quota
Based on experience, Antigravity right now is much more responsive than AI Studio.
I see. Thank you for sharing.
I read their official documentation on this, but I still don’t fully understand what “work done” means exactly? Is that referring to a certain amount of tokens being used?
That’s what I wanna know as well, I’m using Google Pro and as per what they have in the website, we have a 5 hour limit every day. But there is a hard cap every week if you exhausted multiple 5 hours of your session multiple times a day and will lock you out for using for a week. Haven’t been there thou. But seeing other users experience that I know for sure the limits are working. The only problem is, similar to Default Free use version, we don’t actually know the exact limits we use per prompt.
I think the “work done” that they are talking about is based on the complexity of the request, but I too don’t know how it is measured nor how we can see those work done fill up our quota limits.
Google gotta be transparent in this kind of things.
How did you do that? Any suggested video? I’m new on Google Ai Studio and never tried Anti-Gravity.
Here’s what I did to move from AI Studio to Antigravity
Step 1: Get the Editor
- Download and install Google Antigravity on your computer.
Step 2: Extract and Rename (Crucial!)
-
Download your project .zip file from AI Studio and Extract it into a new folder.
-
Make sure your folder name has NO special symbols or brackets (like [Project]). Antigravity’s terminal gets completely confused by symbols and will crash when you try to run the app. Keep the name simple and plain.
Step 3: Open the Project
-
Open Google Antigravity.
-
Go to the top menu, click File > Open Folder…, and select your freshly extracted folder.
Step 4: Install and Run
-
Open the terminal inside Antigravity (Click Terminal > New Terminal at the top).
-
Type npm install and hit Enter. (Wait a minute for this to finish—it is downloading all the background parts your app needs to run).
-
Once that finishes, type npm run dev and hit Enter. This turns on your app! Just click the http://localhost… link it gives you to view it in your browser.
Important Note: API Keys and Online Services
This exact move worked for me because my app is largely self-contained. I don’t have AI Features like AI Assistant or AI Image Generations.
If your app heavily relies on online services (like the Gemini API), it might break when you run it locally.
Here is why: For security reasons, Google AI Studio safely hides your secret API keys in the cloud. When you download your .zip file, your keys are left behind so they don’t get stolen. To get your AI features working in Antigravity, you will eventually have to learn how to create a local .env file to securely paste your API keys back into the project

Have you tested out how many free prompts you get in Anti gravity?
Yeah, and I guess its not that “better” than AI Studio. I don’t know how many limits does the free version have cause I’m in a Pro Plan but you can definitely check the usage out in the settings:
(Bottom Right Corner) Antigravity - Settings → Advance Settings → Models
just to inform you guys, antigravity is facing issues on Quota Problems (like mine in the pic) where the quota is being depleted way too quickly after some few prompts. right now, if AI Studio is doing fine stick with it for now.
Thank you very much for the information. Does hovering your mouse over those bars give any more info or is it just a guessing game for how much quota you have left?
The thought passed through my mind to possible pay for a subscription, but all I keep reading is about all the quota problems, so it sounds pointless and a waste of money to pay.
Yeah, it does show the percentage of the remaining work quota. not exactly “per prompt” but you get a visual of your remaining quota per model.
I am recently doing another project of mine in ai studio, and I cant help but to compare how faster antigravity is. ai studio for me is currently slow as of now but really great in having ai services in your app (which is kinda bit tricky in antigravity but works too i guess)
and yeah, antigravity has some issues with other models right now wher quotas are exhausted pretty quickly, but in my current experience, the 5 hour reset for the model Gemini Flash is more than enough for my project (Note that the 5 hour reset is only applicable to pro plan)
